Chapter 312 Four Bonds Complete

• POV: Luna
• Cole's hybrid entity didn't attack. Just watched. Observed. Understanding that force was unnecessary when manipulation had achieved exactly what he needed. When we'd rescued Hunter because prophecy demanded it. When divine design's requirements aligned with enemy purposes making resistance futile despite recognizing trap.
• "You can leave," Cole said. Voice carrying hybrid resonance that hurt to hear. "Take Hunter. Complete bond structure. Enable synthesis I require. Prove that prophecy serves my purposes despite appearing to serve yours. Divine design and my manipulation converge. What goddess demands is what I need. What you must do for cosmic transformation is what enables vessel claiming making transformation possible."
